İngilizce yazılan akademik metinlerde sözcük birliği

Akademik yazımda eşdizim, İngilizceyi anadilmiş gibi kullanabilme becerisi isteniyorsa oldukça önemlidir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışma iki ana amacı gerçekleştirmek için yapılmıştır: akademik yazımda anadilde yazıyormuş gibi yazabilmek için eşdizime olan farkındalığı arttırmak ve özellikle anadili İngilizce olmayan yazarlar tarafından kullanılabilecek pratik bir eşdizim listesi oluşturmak. Çalışmanın verisini anadili İngilizce olan yazarlar tarafından İngiliz Dili Eğitimi dalında yazılmış 100 makale oluşturmaktadır. Veri analiz edilmiş ve bulunan eşdizim yapıları çeşitli kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Kategorize edilen eşdizim yapıları kapsamlı bir eşdizim listesi oluşturabilmek için eşdizim sözlükleri kullanılarak genişletilmiştir. Sonuçlar akademik yazımlarda anadili İngilizce olan yazarların yoğun bir şekilde eşdizim kullandıkları görülmüştür. Aynı zamanda yapılan literatür taraması, İngiliz dilinde kaliteli akademik yazım ve eşdizimin doğru kullanılması arasında güçlü bir ilişki olduğunu gösteren kanıtlar ortaya çıkarmıştır.

Word combinations of English in academic writing

Collocations, no matter where to use them, are an important linguistic issue if it is native fluency that is longedfor in academic writing. In line with that, the present study aimed at increasing the awareness towards theimportance of collocations in order to have native fluency in academic writing; making some suggestionsregarding involvement of collocations in academic texts, and creating a practicable list of collocations to be usedespecially in research articles by non-native writers of English. A hundred research articles written in English inthe field of ELT by native speakers of English made up the data of the present study. The data were analysed andthe collocations were identified and categorized. The categorized collocations were enhanced throughcollocations dictionaries to be able to create a comprehensive list of collocations. The findings showed thatnative speakers heavily rely on collocations while writing academic texts. In addition, the literature also providedcompelling evidence regarding the close relation between native fluency in academic texts and correct collocation use.
